Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Triage and Scope Custom Solution Requests
You will own the front door for custom solutions requests, deciding what’s worth committing to before it reaches a client.
Responsibilities include:
Field new custom-solution requests from Sales and Customer Success as they come in (Slack, demo follow-ups, live calls)
Assess feasibility and turnaround before anything is committed to a client
Align stakeholders when a request is over-scoped or under-priced
Educate clients on data availability and nuances
Develop solution options to discuss with the client before committing to delivery
Query, Validate, and Build One-Off Deliverables
You will do the actual data work behind each request, once it’s been scoped.
Query BigQuery to test and validate client-specific hypotheses
Build or update lightweight dashboards (Looker, etc) for one-off client deliverables
Disambiguate against existing coverage to avoid duplicating work
Hand Off to Engineering Once Customer Validation Is Achieved
You validate the approach with the customer before engineering builds it. Responsibilities include:
Write up findings and requirements clients or account teams can act on directly
Hand off anything requiring pipeline or scraper-level work to engineering, with a clear spec
Surface it immediately when a client’s own criteria don’t hold up
Other duties as assigned
Must-Have Experience
- 2+ years of experience in data analysis, solutions consulting, business analysis, or a similar role
- Strong SQL fluency (BigQuery a plus), comfortable self-serve querying
- Scopes an ambiguous request before diving in and defines what “done” looks like from the start
- Strong written and verbal communication for client-facing summaries
- Comfortable working directly with clients or internal commercial teams under a fast turnaround pace
- Comfortable presenting data findings and methodology directly to clients and helping them interpret results, not just retrieving data
- Moves quickly and decisively, without overanalyzing
Nice-to-Have Experience
Enough SQL/notebook fluency to spec engineering work credibly (not to build it)
Prior consulting or client-facing analyst background
Familiarity with a BI/dashboarding tool (Looker, Tableau, etc.)
